SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning
may lead to death!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon
monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches,
dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, the fireplace
may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have
fireplace serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon
monoxide than others. These include pregnant women,
people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under
the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.
Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas is odorless. An odor-
making agent is added to the gas. The odor helps you detect
a gas leak. However, the odor added to the gas can fade.
Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

AIR FOR COMBuSTION
ANd VENTILATION
Today’shomesarebuiltmoreenergyefcientthanever.New
materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods
help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip
and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out
and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners
want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your
home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All
fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combus-
tion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning ap-
pliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide
adequatefreshairfortheseappliances.Thiswillinsureproper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following
ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 4 through 6 will help you classify
yourspaceandprovideadequateventilation.
WARNING: This heater shall not be
installed in a room or space unless the
required volume of indoor combustion air
is provided by the method described in
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, the International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.
ELECTRICAL
There is a provided “J” box, accessible from either end of
the fireplace. Electrical connection should be made by a
qualiedinstaller.Followalllocalcodes.
Read the following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and other fuel-
burning appliances in your home.
5
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide
enough fresh air for combustion and ventilation. However, in
buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide
additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as con-
struction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside
atmosphere have a continuous water vapor
retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x 10
-11
kg
per pa-sec-m
2
) or less with openings gasketed
or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable
windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such
as joints around window and door frames,
between sole plates and floors, between wall-
ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetra-
tions for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines,
and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above,
you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventila-
tion Air From Outdoors, page 5.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria
above, proceed to Determining Fresh-Air Flow for
Fireplace Location, page 6.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 defines
a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m
3
per kw) of the
aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume
is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8
m
3
per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances
installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with
the space in which the appliances are installed*, through
openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part
of the unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between them.
VENTILATION AIR
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from an adjoining unconfined
space. When ventilating to an adjoining unconfined space,
you must provide two permanent openings: one within 12"
of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor on the wall
connecting the two spaces (see Figure 1). You can also
remove door into adjoining room (see Figure 1). Follow
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Sec-
tion 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation
forrequired
size of ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or ducts.
You must provide two permanent openings: one within
12" of the ceiling and one within 12" of the floor. Connect
these items directly to the outdoors or spaces open to the
outdoors. These spaces include attics and crawl spaces.
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for
requiredsizeofventilationgrillsorducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet or outlet
air into attic if attic has a thermostat-controlled power vent.
Heated air entering the attic will activate the power vent.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW
FOR FIREPLACE LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Confined
or Unconfined Space
Use this work sheet to determine if you have a confined
or unconfined space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install fire-
place plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways
or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x
height).
Length x Width x Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 22 ft. (length) x 18 ft. (width) x
8 ft. (ceiling height) = 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied
with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms
to the total volume of the space.
2. Multiply the space volume by 20 to determine the maxi-
mum Btu/Hr the space can support.
_______ (volume of space) x 20 = (Maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support)
Example: 3168 cu. ft. (volume of space) x 20 =
63,360
(maximum Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the
space.
Vent-free fireplace _____________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* ______________ Btu/Hr
Gas furnace ___________________ Btu/Hr
Vented gas heater ______________ Btu/Hr
Gas fireplace logs ______________ Btu/Hr
Other gas appliances* + ________ Btu/Hr
Total = ________ Btu/Hr
* Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent
draws combustion air from the outdoors and vents to
the outdoors.
Example:
Vent-free fireplace ____________ Btu/Hr
Gas water heater* _____________ Btu/Hr
Total = ________ Btu/Hr
4.
Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with
the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
____ Btu/Hr (max. the space can support)
____ Btu/Hr (actual amt. of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 63,300 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can sup-
port)
73,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because
the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support. You must provide additional fresh
air. Your options are as follows:
A.
Rework work sheet, adding the space of an adjoining room.
If the extra space provides an unconfined space, remove
door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between
rooms. See Ventilation Air from Inside Building, page 5.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air
from Outdoors, page 5.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr fireplace, if lower Btu/Hr size
makes room unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support, the space is an unconfined space.
You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

NOTICE: This appliance is intended for
supplemental heating. Use this heater
along with your primary heating system.
Do not install this heater as your primary
heat source. If you have a central heating
system, you may run system’s circulating
blower while using heater. This will help
circulate the heat throughout the house. In
the event of a power outage, you can use
this heater as your primary heat source.
CAUTION: This fireplace creates warm
air currents. These currents move heat to
wall surfaces next to fireplace. Installing
fireplace next to vinyl or cloth wall cover-
ings or operating fireplace where impurities
(such as tobacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.)
in the air exist, may discolor walls.
Note: Your fireplace is designed to be used in zero clear-
ance installations. Wall or framing material can be placed
directly against any exterior surface on the rear, sides, or
top of your fireplace, except where standoff spacers are
integrally attached. If standoff spacers are attached to your
fireplace, these spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing materials.
Use the dimensions shown for rough openings to create the easi-
est installation (see Built-In Fireplace Installation, page 8).
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air.
Although this is beneficial, installing fireplace in rooms
without enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form
from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, page 4.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fireplace is level. If fireplace
is not level, fireplace will not work properly.
WARNING: This appliance is equipped
for either natural or propane (LP) gas. Field
conversion is not permitted.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES
WARNING: Maintain the minimum
clearances. If you can, provide greater
clearances from floor, ceiling, and adjoin-
ing wall.
Carefully follow the instructions below. This will ensure
safe installation.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances
A. Clearances from the side of the fireplace opening to any
combustible material and wall should follow diagram in
Figure 3.
Example: The face of a mantel, bookshelf, etc.
is made of combustible material and protrudes
3.5" from the wall. This combustible ma-
terial must be 4" from the side of the fireplace
cabinet (see Figure 3).
B. Clearances from the top of the fireplace opening to the
ceiling should not be less than 42 inches.
C. When the firebox is installed on carpeting or other com-
bustible material, other than wood flooring, the firebox
should be installed on a metal or wood panel extending
the full width and depth of the enclosure.

out the side of the fireplace to the best location for access
to the switch. There is a total of 9 feet (3 meters) of wire.
Mount the switch into an electrical box in an adjacent wall.
Be careful not to damage the wires.
EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
As an option, the remote receiver may be retained inside
the fireplace bottom. Battery access is better when located
in an adjacent wall.
SHUTOFF VALVE
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valve in
an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to
the appliance.
Check your building codes for any special re-
quirements for locating equipment shutoff valve
to fireplaces.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male NPT threads. This
will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in clogged fireplace valves.
Never use sealant on flare threads.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is
resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap in supply
line as shown in Figure 6. Locate sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and fireplace. Locate sediment trap where
trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going
into fireplace gas controls. If sediment trap is not installed
or is installed wrong, fireplace may not run properly.

Check pilot flame pattern and burner flame patterns often.
PILOT FLAME PATTERN
Figure 18 shows a correct pilot flame pattern. Figure 19
shows an incorrect pilot flame pattern. The incorrect pilot
flame is not touching the flame sensor. This will cause the
flame sensor to cool. When the flame sensor cools, the
fireplace will shut down.
If pilot flame pattern is incorrect, as shown in Figure 19
•
turn fireplace off (see Turning OFF The Appliance, page 11)
•
see Cleaning and Maintenance, page 16
Note: The correct pilot flame on natural gas units will have
a slight curve, but flame should be blue and have no yellow
or orange color.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Turn off fireplace and let cool
before cleaning.
CAUTION: Keep burner and control
compartment clean. See installation and
operating instructions accompanying
heater. Inspect these areas of fireplace
before each use. Have fireplace inspected
yearly by a qualified service person. Fire-
place may need more frequent cleaning due
to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding
material, pet hair, etc.
WARNING: Failure to keep the primary
air opening of the burner clean may result
in sooting and property damage.
BURNER INJECTOR HOLDER AND
PILOT AIR INLET HOLE
The primary air inlet holes allow the proper amount of air
to mix with the gas. This provides a clean burning flame.
Keep these holes clear of dust, dirt, lint, and pet hair. Clean
these air inlet holes prior to each heating season. Blocked
air holes will create soot. We recommend that you clean the
unit every three months during operation and have heater
inspectedyearlybyaqualiedserviceperson.
We also recommend that you keep the burner tube and pilot
assembly clean and free of dust and dirt. To clean these
parts we recommend using compressed air no greater than
30 PSI. Your local computer store, hardware store, or home
center may carry compressed air in a can. You can use a
vacuum cleaner in the blow position. If using compressed
air in a can, please follow the directions on the can. If you
don't follow directions on the can, you could damage the
pilot assembly.
1. Shut off the unit, including the pilot. Allow the unit to
cool for at least thirty minutes.
2.
Inspect burner, pilot, and primary air inlet holes on injector
holder for dust and dirt (see Figure 22).
3. Blow air through the ports and holes in the burner.
4. Check the injector holder located at the end of the burner
tube again. Remove any large particles of dust, dirt, lint, or
pet hair with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner nozzle.
5. Blow air into the primary air holes on the injector
holder.
Figure 22 - Injector Holder On Outlet Burner Tube
6. In case any large clumps of dust have now been pushed
into the burner repeat steps 3 and 4.
Clean the pilot assembly also. A yellow tip on the pilot
flame indicates dust and dirt in the pilot assembly. There
is a small pilot air inlet hole about two inches from where
the pilot flame comes out of the pilot assembly (see Figure
23). With the unit off, lightly blow air through the air inlet
hole. You may blow through a drinking straw if compressed
air is not available.
